Register a project

If you have a model or some source code relating to the Empirical
Modelling project which you are not currently changing very often,
then please consider submitting it to the archive to share it with others.

This form is for submitting details about electronic data.
When you fill it in and press the Submit button at the bottom,
it will create a specially formatted file containing the details
you submitted. This file will be emailed to you and the empublic
administrator. You will then need to contact the empublic administrator
(perhaps by emailing empublic@dcs.warwick.ac.uk) and arrange to
place your project within the archive (submitting a ZIP file through
this page might eventually be implemented, but not yet - it seems
sensible to have a human in the loop at this stage).

Please fill in as many details as you can.

Title

Eg: Room Viewer

Authors

Eg: Simon Yung
Please state the primary author of this version of the project.
If you have extended a model, the primary author is now you. Then
add any secondary authors, using the button to add more fields if
necessary.

Short description

Eg: Cat flap and cat tkeden model with visualisation
Please give a short (maximum 50 characters) description of the
project.

Long description

Please give a more full description of the project. What
inspired/motivated it? What notable features does it have? Are
bits of it a good example for others to examine, and if so what
part(s)? What is the model trying to show? What EM principles
does it illustrate? What problems does it have -- what would
you work on next? (Note specific instructions about using the
model are probably best put in the "tour" document mentioned
below). If you are not the primary author of this model (ie you
are filling in a form about a project from some other archive),
then please put something to identify you at the end of this
text, for example [Chris R].

Machine-readable date

Please give the date when you last
made a significant change to the project (not when you started
it, for example). If you do not know the day (for example) precisely,
then leave it as "unknown".

Year

Month

Day

Project code

Please create a code for the project. This is a short
string which will be used to uniquely identify this project,
for ever, in this sytem, in web URLs, on CDROMs which contain
projects and so on. The standard form we are using is composed
of a short project title (in lowercase), followed by the family
name of the primary author (with an initial capital letter),
followed by the year in which a significant change was last made
(including the century). There is a limit of 26 characters.

Some examples are:

fishWard2001

claytontunnelSun2000

cogRoe1999

sasamiexamplesCarter1999

If you feel another keyword is appropriate but it is not listed above, please use the Other box.

Project funding

How was the primary
author funded to work on this project?

EM technologies used

Please tick the boxes to show any
EM technologies (notations, APIs...) you have used in your project.

%eden
%scout
%donald
%sasami
%lsd
%eddi

LSD analysis
If you have used a technology invented for the EM group but it is not listed here, please use the "Other" box. Please don't put non-EM technologies (eg HTML) in this box.
Other:

Screenshot

Please take a screenshot of your project and save the
image inside the project directory. Then give the path to your
image here.

For example, I could take a screenshot on UNIX using xv and
save it as screenshot1.gif inside a subdirectory called Pics
of my main project directory. I would then type Pics/screenshot1.gif
into this box.

If you cannot take a screenshot (please do - it would be useful!),
then leave this box blank.

Valid image types are ones that web browsers will understand:
GIF is a sensible type to use for screenshots (please do not use
BMP: it is not understood in some web browsers).

Tour

(If your project is a model). Models are notoriously
hard to explore if the original author is not around. Please spend
five minutes writing a short document explaining what you would
show a new user of your project (how to start it, what does the
screen show, what do the buttons do, where are good places to
explore...).

Ideally, please write this file as an HTML document (use an
editor if you like: even MS Word can generate HTML). If not,
please write a text-only document.

Save the file within your project directory. Then give the
path to your tour document here.

For example, I could write an HTML document using Netscape
Composer. I would save the file as tour.html, with any images
it used inside a subdirectory called Docs of my main project
directory. I would then type Docs/tour.html into this box.

Previous location

(This is intended for older projects only). If your project was
previously accessible at some other location, then give the path
here (eg ~wmb/public/projects/simulations/catflap/ashley). This
information is recorded to help jog our memory, not for computer
consumption. If the project was accessible at multiple

locations separately.

For papers, put the publication information in this field.

Publishing

Are you happy for your work to appear in the empublic archive?

Your email address (required - but not part of the project
details)

Your email address will not be published as part of the
project details in this archive. However, your address will be
emailed to the administrator of this system when you press the
Submit button below. This is just in case there are problems when
getting the actual project files from you. You must put your
email address here: this form will fail on submission
otherwise.

Finally - submit this form

When you submit this whole form by pressing the button below,
a special file containing the details you have entered will be
created. This won't go immediately into the repository... it
has to be checked by a human first. The file will be stored
here on the server, and the administrator of this system will be
emailed to let them know. You will also be emailed a copy of
the file using the address you entered above.
